Pole Position is a Formula 1 racing game. Enter the Grand Prix, race against other racing cars to achieve the highest score possible in the shortest amount of time.

The player's goal is to qualify for the Grand Prix by completing the Qualifying Lap within a certain time limit. If the player fails to qualify, they can continue racing until the Race Timer runs out. The player scores points for distance covered and bonus points for passing other cars. When the time runs out, the game ends.

During the Grand Prix, the player competes against the Race Timer as well as other racing cars. If the player fails to beat the timer in any lap, they are eliminated from the race. Completing the race and reaching the finishing line rewards the player with points for time remaining and bonus points for distance covered.

Scoring can be achieved through:

Every 5 meters driven: 50 points

Passing a car: 50 points

Time Bonus: 200 points per second left on the Race Timer

The player's position at the end of the Grand Prix determines their final score:

Pole Position - Lap Time: 58"50 seconds - 4,000 points

2nd Position - Lap Time: 60"00 seconds - 2,000 points
